// Inheritance approach 2: templated trampoline classes.
//
// Advantages:
// - we have only 2 (template) class and 4 method declarations (one per virtual method, plus one for
//   any override of a pure virtual method), versus 4 classes and 6 methods (MI) or 4 classes and 11
//   methods (repeat).
// - Compared to MI, we also don't have to change the non-trampoline inheritance to virtual, and can
//   properly inherit constructors.
//
// Disadvantage:
// - the compiler must still generate and compile 14 different methods (more, even, than the 11
//   required for the repeat approach) instead of the 6 required for MI.  (If there was no pure
//   method (or no pure method override), the number would drop down to the same 11 as the repeat
//   approach).
